Overview

• The Republic of Sereyn, located in the Government region, is a huge, devout nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of over 200 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

• The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 20%. A robust private sector is led by the Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales industries.

• Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, and abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sereyn's national animal is the penguin and its currency is the Ser.

Sports

• Sereyn hosts a monthly volleyball tournament on the Government forums. The January volleyball league winner was Sajlamot with 4 wins, a tie, and a loss.

• Sereyn also participates in the sports of football and soccer.

Positions

• The ruler of Sereyn is a Congressman of Government, Government's Foreign Affairs Minister, the "Mayor of Spamville", and the "King of the Spamville Round Table", as well as the top poster of the Government forums.

Organizations

• Sereyn is a member of the Salt Sea Alliance (SSA) and the NMWO (New iami Waves Organization)
• Both of these organizations are groups that decided what is best for the economy in a certain area of the region. Sajlamot is near both of these areas.

Name

• The name "Sereyn" comes from the word "Serengheti", a native word for the land. "Serengheti" literally means "desert-like plain" in the native tongue.

Geography

• The nation of Sereyn is located on the south-west portion of the continent of Southern Americana in the region of Government.

• The terrain of Sereyn is mostly falt, with a few hills. The land is mainly dry and savannah-like. There is a desert and one large forest as well. Sereyn's lands touch the ocean in Government, the Salt Sea, and the Saj Mahal Sea.

History

• The nation of Sereyn was founded when the Sajland Indians met the settlers from GBUSA's lands. The men from GBUSA were already disgruntled about the government over there and decided to stay with the friendly indians. Together, the two groups built New Saj City. From there, other cities and towns were built.

• An interesting time period in Sereyn's history is the period of time when Mr. Sean II began the religion of Sajism. This religion is now wide spread in Sereyn. You can still see many temples from the beggining of this religion.

Language

• The language of Sereyn is called "Sernin"
• Letters are pronounced in the following ways:

A = "Ah" "Ay"

B = "Buh" "Bay"

C = "Cuh" "Suh"

D = "Duh" "Dee" "Day"

E = "Ee" "Eh" "Ih"

F = "Fuh" "Fee" "Fah"

G = "Guh" "Gah" "Huh"

I = "Ih" "Iy" "Ee"

J = "Juh"

L = "Luh" "Lay" "Yuh"

M = "Muh"

N = "Nuh" "En"

O = "Oh" "Ah" "Uh" "Ooh"

P = "Puh" "Pay"

R = "Ruh" "Ray"

S = "Shuh" "Suh" "Say"

T = "Tuh" "Tay"

U = "Uh" "Ooh"

W = "Wuh" "Way"

Y = "Yuh"

'= Add a "Shuh"

`= Add a "Fuh"

~= Long break between sylablles.

• Always capitalise proper nouns and the first letter of a sentence, as well as the first letter after a ~. Examples: His name is Sean. Ba~King. (Ba.king)
• If there is a ' (meaning you add a "Shuh"), do not pronounce any S after that. Example: Wa'es.(Wash)
• / shows possesion. Example: Sean/s book.
• \ shows a contraction. Example: He\s 8 years old.
• P is always silent if it is at the beginning of a word. Example: Psychic. (Sy-kick)
• To pluralize a word with a ' ("Shuh"), place a "q" at the end of the word. Example: Wa'esq. (Washes)

National Anthem

• Sereyn's national anthem is the "Saj-spangled Banner"

• The Saj-spangled Banner:

Oh say can you see

By the dusk's late night light

What so proudly we sail

Over our heads it's gleaming.

It's bold Saj and Ser parts

Were so proudly shining.

As over the border we watched

While Sean made Sajism.

Oh say does that Saj-spangled

Banner yet wave...

For the land of Sajism

And the home of the Sajland.

National Motto

• The motto, "Who says Sereyn is a weird name?" comes from the times when Sereyn was ruled by a dctator, who abolished any taunting or jokes about the nation. This saying is a representation of his rule and is poking fun at him. It also serves as a good way to prove Sereyn's pride.

National Animal

• The national animal is the penguin. This changes with the leader of the nation, and the current leader, Mr. Reynolds, likes penguins. We are not sure why.

• A picture of the national animal: [3]

National Currency

• The national currency, the Ser, comes from the nations name. The Half-Ser is also commonly used.
